Keto Belgian Waffles (Grain Free & Perfectly Authentic)

Have you ever enjoyed the pleasure of walking into an ice cream shop, when they were making homemade waffle cones? The heavenly smell is something to behold.

It’s a smell so intoxicating, we’ve seen it stop people dead in their tracks…

You see, years ago, Wellness Bakeries was founded in a small cottage by the sea in Delray Beach, Florida. And just one block away from that cottage was a magical little ice cream shop, called Kilwin’s. Every day, they would make fresh waffle cones.

Now, I’m not sure who the marketing genius was who came up with the idea, but Kilwin’s created a separate ventilation system to collect the heavenly waffle-cone scented air inside the store and then blow it from a duct above their front door.

From our office down the street, we could watch the crowds walk past this little ice cream shop. Suddenly, one person would stop and look around… and then follow their nose into the store (along with a crowd of friends).

Thanks in part to the smell of those fresh waffles, there was always a line at Kilwin’s!

And now that you know the first part of the story, let me tell you why we bring it up…

The recipe calls for a “secret ingredient” that I’ve never used to make waffles before. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. But as these waffles began to heat on the iron, the most amazing smell filled the kitchen.

Jon and I looked at each other at the same time and said, “Smells just like Kilwins!”

The smell was out of this world, but how would they taste?

One bite, and we were blown away.

With their fluffy interior and perfectly crisp golden-brown edges, these waffles rival your favorite nook-and-cranny stack at any traditional breakfast joint. In fact, our Keto Belgian Waffles are such a dead ringer for the original you could serve them to your wheat-loving friends and they’ll never suspect they are actually grain-free… let alone ultra-low carb (just 3 g net carbs) and ketogenic!

We have been making waffles with our mixes for nearly 10 years. We’ve also experimented with dozens of from-scratch recipes. We’ve tested the products of all our competitors. We’ve never found another waffle quite as good as these!

And the best part is that you can truly enjoy this delicious treat – guilt free!

Just consider the nutritional departure from the typical Belgian waffles, which can pack 600 calories, 60 grams of carbohydrate and 20 grams of sugar (and that’s before adding the maple syrup and other toppings!).

As you’ll see in the nutritional snapshot below, these waffles boast roughly half the calories, only three grams of net carbs, less than two grams sugar and 12 grams of protein.

These fat-burning, keto-friendly waffles require just a few simple ingredients (including the “secret” ingredient, cream cheese) and a few minutes of your time to prepare.

These Keto Belgian Waffles are a snap to make and freeze well too. Simply wrap individually in plastic wrap, then placed in a freezer bag. And feel free to scale the recipe up or down to meet your needs. The below made eight, hefty 4-inch waffles.
